Prints & Shipping FAQs
Prints & Framing
We ensure every product is the best quality it can be. We use professional printing and framing specialists. In Australia our supplier is based in Sydney with 30+ years of experience in custom printing and framing, and they work closely with us to ensure the quality of all pieces is excellent.
Sizes
Standard sizes A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0 are used. Custom sizes and aspect ratios are available, as are even larger sizes than A0.
Printing
Each piece is printed on high archival quality photographic paper to ensure long life and the finest quality. The standard selected by us is Ilford GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl 310gsm semi-gloss paper (or similar). The finish can be changed at the purchaser's preference, but the quality remains high in every case.
Unframed Prints
- Usually provided with a built-in white border, included in and proportionate to the print size. They can also be provided without.
- Printed on Ilford GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl 310gsm semi-gloss paper (or similar). Other papers available on request.
- Rolled with acid free tissue paper and packed into a hard postal tube.
Matted Prints
- A matboard consists of the printed image dry mounted to acid-free adhesive foamcore backing, with a mat border mounted on top. Mats sit between the printed image and the frame and provide a white border around the image. A matboard adds protection and rigidity, and helps guard against humidity.
- The size selection corresponds to the image and the proportionate off-white matboard border.
- Standard sizing makes framing simple.
- Photos printed on Ilford GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl 310gsm semi-gloss paper (or similar).
- A2 and under are wrapped in a resealable, recyclable cello bag for extra protection.
- If doing your own framing, we recommend purchasing a matted print if you can.
Framed Prints
- Each frame is custom made in Sydney of high quality timber and glass.
- The size selection corresponds to the image and the proportionate off-white matboard border.
- Choice of black, white or raw oak frame with glass.
- The frame will add 4-8cm to each finished dimension.
- More frame, glass and size options available on request.
Acrylic Glass
- Each piece is printed onto an acrylic glass sheet using the latest UV technology.
- Our supplier uses a high quality, glossy, 4.5mm thick framing grade acrylic which amplifies the depth, vibrance and clarity of the image, with built-in 94% UV resistance. A 2mm thick black acrylic backing completes the piece.
- There is no white border on these.
- Not all sizes are available in every image due to resolution.
- Any specific requests for size, image or frame colours/finishes can be arranged easily.
Online Representation of Printed Pieces
Care has been taken to accurately represent the finished printed and framed pieces on this website. However, the images shown may differ slightly when printed. This is due to individual differences in monitor and phone calibrations and web limitations.

Please note: if you live in Sydney, feel free to get in touch before you purchase as I can often reduce or remove shipping costs and deliver myself.
Production Time Frame
Production times on framed images vary depending on the time of year. Each piece is custom made to order, and hand crafted in Sydney. It usually takes 3-8 days to complete unframed artwork orders, and 2-3 weeks for framed pieces or acrylic prints. Get in touch for up to date timing estimates.
Can't find the shot you're after?
Most of my images from Instagram can be printed — I can't easily put them all on the Etsy store. Get in touch! If I don't have the shot, tell me where to visit next. I can often accommodate requests at no additional cost.
Need help choosing?
It can be hard to decide on a piece for your wall, and sometimes you want to see what it would look like. If you send me a well lit image of your space, directly facing the wall you are looking at, I may be able to show you how it might look.
Payment Methods
We accept most forms of payment: Direct transfer, PayPal, Stripe and Afterpay.
